132-foot-tall building near transit; no parking spaces included April 13, 2021 | 3:07 pm April 13, 2021 Via Montgomery County Planning Board The Montgomery County Housing Opportunities Commission plans to convert a parking lot in downtown Silver Spring into its new headquarters. The Housing Opportunities Commission (HOC) announced in late 2019 that it planned to relocate from its Kensington location within three years. The new building will be about 132 feet tall, according to Planning Board documents, and will sit at the intersection of Fenwick Lane and Second Avenue. The location is important, Planning Board documents say, because it is near one of the HOC’s largest projects — Elizabeth Square, a future multi-building development with up to 906 residences — and provides “public services related to the agency’s affordable housing mission in a transit-rich downtown.”
